One of the things that impressed me the most on my travels through West Africa was the clay mosques: the toron scaffolding, the elements of Dogon architecture, the beauty of vernacular materials and know-how, and the low environmental impact.Lit by nothing but candles by night as congregants pray on the flat roof, these mosques are spectacular examples of vernacular forms of sacred architecture.This is a concept house loosely inspired by the mosques of West Africa. Featured are ablution rooms, libraries, open air and covered lounge spaces, with water features aplenty.Designer: @reverse.orientalism [IG]
